whos going it should be a cracker?

We will be there just hope they put in a decent performance cos it's a long drive home if there is a cricket score against us.

I cant see anything but a comfy Wigan win, this will be a big test for Rovers after 3 easy wins.

Bet ur glad ur playing an easy time this week arnt u they Shud be easy to

Tough, tough game. I'm resigned to loosing, but the performance will be the key (a bit like Wire away last season, we lost but turned a corner at the same time). Can't make the game (bloody family BBQs!) so I'm hoping to slope off to the pub to catch the game.

Isn't it Warrington/Leeds on sky?

Edit- Wait we are on on monday.

Can't be ar5ed. Rubbish me.

No Hudds will be a very tough game, but not as hard as Wigan away, not sure what this has to with this thread though?

This will be a test of resolve, I just hope we give them a game, score some points and don't roll over and have our belly's tickled.
Having said all that I don't think Wigan are playing all that well this year, they have scraped a lot of wins / draws, Saints x 2 / Leeds / Hull and lost by a margin against cats. They looked pretty shoddy against a 12 man Bulls team as well this week.
Should be an interesting game.

The general consensus from us Wigan fans is we're doing the bare minimum required to win matches. Trying to conserve energy for later on in the season. A risky strategy I know.

Should be a great game never the less. I'm just hopeful that Sam will be passed fit to play.

Safe trip over people.

So let's hope that the Robins use up all that excess energy that you've tried to conserve and a bit more that you've not; so HKR come home laughing. I'm hoping that Rovers win just as I'm also hoping FC win their match v Leeds and see another all Hull derby at Wembley. We need to fill Wembley again by giving the national stadium the repeat of the greatest game (league) and once again show the Capital how different the supporters of League are compared to the round ball game ;-banter not bullies; kisses not knives; and most of all laughter instead of tears........grannyfan Cindy

How would us winning at Wigan increase the chance of a Hull v Rovers CC final?

I think she's lost her Donepezil.

Because I have faith that FC will win their match v Leeds (I always have faith in my own team) and that would mean both Hull clubs in the semis. Sorry if the arithmetic of the cup draw is too difficult for you in the east lol......grannyfan Cindy

Cindy, have another look at the draw..................

saints and warrington will be a cracking quarter final then!!

Oh dear.............

your lot were gash when Sam Tomkins went off last week, i didnt realise how much you relied on him.

We weren't great when he was on the pitch to be honest, but I know what you mean. The fact that when he went off we had to put Hoffman in the centre's and Pat to FB, it completely killed our attack. It was a poor performance compared to what Wigan are capable of.

To be fair there's not a side in SL who without their key players on the pitch wouldn't struggle. Look at yourselves and the torrid time you had when Dobson was out injured.

Anyone with long range sniper skills

you would get 2 for 1 for a hit on sam, joel will start throwing elbows about

I thought Bradford were really up for the CC game against Wigan and took it to them. Wigan never seemed to get settled and I think the hit on Sam Tomkins knocked them off the game plan a little. I think if Rovers come with the same intensity, like they did two years ago, then it should be a cracking match.

Hope you guys have put Masongate behind you and the wind calms down for Monday. Should be a great game!

It is one of the games I look forward to each year but as usual I am missing the trip due to work but there is always next year. Should be close & I am not confident but as always Rovers can beat anyone if they get it right on the day.

Where's best place to watch Rovers on Sky (Holderness Road area) these days? Not been in Crown for a couple of years but that was always a good atmosphere. Recomendations appreciated.
